It's a bit hard to tell what exactly what is going on here, but I'll summarize. The kids were playing nicely together. So this is a rare picture of sibling love. It looks pretty tame, but what started out as Alex kissing Gabey's cheeks while he giggled hysterically turned a bit ugly when kisses turned into face squishes. And more giggling, so I guess not too terribly ugly after all. Gabey tolerates many semi-violent acts from his sister when they're delivered with smiles and laughter. Not sure how I feel about that, but for now, it works.

The rest of their afternoon was spent on the slide - they pushed each other down, taking nice turns and generally having a good time until Alex decided Gabe could go down head first. He protest for a minute, crying to mommy, then went back for more. Feet first.

Then, tomato picking and eating. A perfect mix of wholesome entertainment and mild sibling-on-sibling violence, or as we call it, a day that ends in y.
